Last night proved a better pattern than the old sprawling burn loop.

What worked:

one bounded burn lane can still ship real work
proof-first human-comment replies created useful movement without deep risky edits
deadman + morning report created visibility
small stale/unblocked nudges produced forward motion when no PRs were mergeable
one real merge landed (the-nexus #859) and several proof-bearing follow-up comments landed across repos

What to leverage harder next burn:

Pre-stage a blocked-PR watchlist (#107, #108, #230 and any fresh equivalents) so cycles spend less time rediscovering the same blockers.
Keep a dedicated human-comment queue for Timmy-touched threads outside the Evennia lane.
Promote proven quick-win classes into repo-truth:
- reply to unresolved human comment
- stale dependency-cleared issue nudge
- fresh infra-proof comment on blockers
Move active self-improvement work out of frozen repo surfaces.
Measure yield explicitly: actions per cycle, human comments answered, stale issues nudged, merges landed.
Preserve lane discipline: no Evennia crossover from this burn lane.

Acceptance criteria:

Agenda is broken into concrete prep items before the next night burn.
The blocked-PR watchlist is written down and linked.
The quick-win classes are converted into a reusable checklist/prompt fragment.
At least one metric block for nightly yield is defined in a way the morning report can actually report.
The next burn starts from this agenda instead of improvising from scratch.

Useful proof from last night to reference:

Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus#859 merged
proof-first replies/comments landed in turboquant, hermes-agent, timmy-config, the-nexus, hermes-config, and timmy-home
